Lands in the samoan Islands.

WASHINGTON, July s7.-The question of
land titles in the Samoan Islands is becom-
ing serious one, and it will probably
prove necessary for the English, German
and American Governments to take ac-
ton for the protection of their re-
spective subjects whose interests are
involved. Sir John Thurston, the
British Commissioner to Samoa, is
now IN Washington en- route to England,
and has 6een in conference with the State
Department regarding this matter. The
existing treaty between Samoa and the
United States will expire July 8, 1855. and
its renewal or the adoption of a new treaty
appears to be imperative if American in
terests IN the island are to be conserved

PERHAM, Mimi, July 23-Last year
grasshoppers appeared on one or two
fields in Perham and destroyed part Of the
crops. They were little fellows, unable to
fly, and supposed to be common grasshop-
pers. They kept together in a
swarm worked mostly on the edges
of the fields, cutting narrow
swath, and disappearing about harvest
time. Now the prairie at Perham is alive
with locusts. In the field they rise IN a
cloud and beat against one's face. On
every clear day, when the wind is strong,
millions of them can be seen high in the
air, going as the wind carries them.
The crops at Perham are a dead loss.
Ten thousand acres can already be
counted as destroyed. Vegetation in

THE COKE STRIKE.
Figuring Up the Cost of Weeks of Idle.
nc s--A Total Loss to Strikers and Oper.
ators of Nearly $2,OOO,O0O.


PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 23-The coke
strike just ended was one of the most
stubbornly contested battles ever fought
between capital and labor. For eleven
weeks and four days the fight went on,
and now that it is over the feeling be-
tween the men and the operators is,
if any thing more cordial than it ever
was before. The amount of money lost by
the long idleness can not be accurately
calculated, but it runs up iuto the mill
ions. When the strike began four -fifths
of the 1000 men in the region hal money
of their own, but very few of them have
enough money now to take them out of
the district if they wanted to leave.
For the first six weeks all of the II, 900
were striking. The average wages paid,
including mine boys at Is cents day and
coai-miners at from $3.50 to S. day, is
sos. Counting at that rate, the good men
lost during the first five weeks 1858
500 in wages. Then A. Carnegie
gave the advance, and 5000 went
to work For six weeks the remaining
5000 have been carrying on the strike, and
have lost $442, 800, making total loss in
wages of S906,300. Ii sliding scale equal
to 1919 per cent advance is arranged for
steady work to make Up for the time they
have lost.
The operators have also been heavy
losers, The pumps have been kept run
ming at all the pits, yard and pit bosses.
superintendent and clerks have been
drawing salaries, and mules and horses
have been getting fat on oats and hay that
they did not earn. At West Leisenring,
where the Pinkerton men have been sta
toned, the expense has been over
$1,000 day since the strike began. Be-
sides this, the ovens have become
cold and badly out of repair. Fully a third
of them all over the region will have to De
overhauled before coal can be put into
them. Then, too, the coke trade has fallen
off, and it will take time and money to
build it UP again. 1t is estimated that the
actual expense to the operators has been
from $1,000 to $4,000 day, while their
loss entire wifi foot up to over 81, COZ, 000
